Sikong Jing broke through to the ninth level of the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation and turned the fight against the beastskin-clad old man, who had nearly reclaimed his sacred weapon. The old man was pinned and his weapons fell, while Heavy Rock and Sikong Jing were left gravely wounded.
Sikong Jing revealed his identity as the Sikong Couple’s son and explained how he had tricked the old man in beast hide to rescue his sister and defeat him. He paused before killing the old man after learning that the old man could identify the Sikong Couple’s pursuers, who might still be in the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.
Sikong Jing learned that Ling Yusong of the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family had gathered the remaining pursuers at Bright Dragon Mountain Range, then killed the old man in beast hide. He sent the injured demon warriors to recover and went to speak with his parents’ spiritual projections, while Su Yuexi searched the old man’s belongings for information.
Sikong Jing reunited with Sikong Ling and learned that Ling Yusong was their eldest cousin, while their parents began explaining the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family. Madam Raccoon and Pei Yusheng headed for the Bright Dragon Mountain Range to seek Ling Yusong’s favor, unaware that Sikong Jing had already killed the old man in beast hide.
Ling Yusong revealed his plan to use the Blood Demon Grand Formation and the forbidden land’s inhabitants to escape the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, while Yao Yulou rushed toward Cloud Roar Minor Domain to find his sister. The chapter left Yao Yulou sensing another Sacred Martial expert ahead.
Yao Yulou learned that a Fifth Sacred Martial Major Realm expert was taking people from Cloud Roar Minor Domain and rushed to save his sister, Yao Yuzhi. He confronted Cheng Guiyi, admitted killing three of his men, and faced the enemy as the chapter ended.
Yao Yulou confronted Cheng Guiyi to protect his sister, Yao Yuzhi, and the people of the Cloud Roar Minor Domain, wielding the power Jiang Wanyou had given him. He left Yao Yuzhi with a final request to care for their parents, then launched a deadly counterattack that made Cheng Guiyi fear his strength.
Yao Yulou fought Cheng Guiyi while Yao Yuzhi fled, and Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi met the Sikong Couple’s spiritual projections. The couple gave Su Yuexi a Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade, which might help preserve their projections, while Sikong Jing explained the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s immense power.
Sikong Jing learned that Ling Yusong might use a Blood Demon Grand Formation to escape the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, putting everyone there at risk, and resolved to kill him. He began cultivating the Nine Heavens Wind and Cloud Art from his father’s inheritance while Su Yuexi studied the Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade.
Su Yuexi discovered that the Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade caused her to advance rapidly in cultivation, though no one could explain why it affected her alone. Meanwhile, Yao Yuzhi learned that Jiang Wanyou had sacrificed herself for Yao Yulou and feared her brother would not survive.
Yao Yuzhi learned that Sikong Jing had returned and sent a message toward him, hoping he could save Yao Yulou. Meanwhile, Yao Yulou continued battling Cheng Guiyi, growing stronger as the fight dragged on.
Ling Yusong began attacking East Right Sect to strengthen his Divine Martial Stage, while Sikong Jing arranged reinforcements and returned toward Overlord Heaven City with Su Yuexi and Heavy Rock. Their journey paused when Sikong Jing spotted Duanmu Grand Tyrant Judge.
Sikong Jing learned that Yao Yulou was in grave danger near Bright Dragon Stronghold after confronting Ling Yusong’s forces. He warned Murong Jianyun to rally the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce, then rushed with Su Yuexi and Heavy Rock toward the Bright Dragon Mountain Range to save Yao Yulou.
Ling Yusong slaughtered the East Right Sect to consolidate his Divine Martial Stage realm, then traveled toward Overlord Heaven City to practice spatial transportation. Sikong Jing sensed Ling Yusong’s passage and disrupted it, injuring Ling Yusong and his subordinates as they escaped the resulting spatial turbulence.
Sikong Jing used reports from demon beasts and the Soul-Returning Mirror to trace Yao Yulou’s fight with Ling Yusong’s subordinate, learning that both had reached the Azure Dragon Small Domain. The chapter left Su Yuexi fearing that the two Fifth Sacred Martial experts could destroy her grandparents’ graves and overwhelm Su Beiheng’s sword formation.
Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi hurried toward the Azure Dragon Small Domain, where Yao Yulou had fought Cheng Guiyi for eight days and stopped to protect Sikong Jing’s hometown. Cheng Guiyi discovered Yao Yulou’s motive and began attacking the Beiheng Sword Formation, forcing Yao Yulou to defend it while fighting him.
Cheng Guiyi overwhelmed Yao Yulou while attacking the Beiheng Sword Formation, leaving Yao gravely wounded and the formation cracking. Just as Cheng Guiyi’s sword barrage seemed to kill him, Jiang Wanyou’s Fierce Charm blood awakened within Yao and restored his heart, turning the battle.
Yao Yulou survived Cheng Guiyi’s attack and drove him away, while people in the Azure Dragon Small Domain reported seeing a seven-colored shadow. Sikong Jing arrived with Su Yuexi and Heavy Rock, subdued the wounded Cheng Guiyi, and hurried into the One-Claw Domain to find Yao Yulou.
Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi traced Yao Yulou's desperate battle and found that he had survived by awakening Jiang Wanyou's Fierce Charm blood. Yao Yulou reached North Dance City, told Hua Lidian that Wanyou had died, and tried to kill himself, but Sikong Jing arrived in time to stop him.
Sikong Jing stopped Yao Yulou from taking his life by revealing Jiang Wanyou’s fragile body, then gave him hope that she could be revived. After learning that a strange voice had awakened Yao Yulou’s Fierce Charm bloodline, Sikong Jing suspected the reincarnated King of Night Charms might be able to save her.
The King of Night Charms watched Su Yuexi pay respects to Su Beiheng and Ye Wuyan, then discovered that she carried traces of its bloodline and soul. It recognized her Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade as the Purple Night Mystic Jade and realized someone had sealed one of its reincarnated soul bodies inside it.
The King of Night Charms uncovered how its blood essence and a sealed reincarnation soul body had caused Su Yuexi’s rapid evolution, then warned her not to touch the Purple Night Mystic Jade. It returned to its prison after sensing Flame Prison’s arrival and concealed the truth about its reincarnated soul bodies.
The King of Night Charms worried that one of its reincarnating soul bodies had been sealed and wondered whether the Five Heavenly Emperors had uncovered its plan. Sikong Jing and Yao Yulou traced signs of its visit to Su Yuexi, who had heard an unfinished warning, but they could not determine what it meant.
Sikong Jing interrogated Cheng Guiyi about Ling Yusong and revealed that he was Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian's son. In Overlord Heaven City, Pei Kuang and the Thousand Kings Holy Tower prisoners arrived to a jubilant crowd, until Old Xin reported a strange development.
Old Xin revealed that a communication jade stone had carried Ling Yusong’s order to gather the pursuers of the Sikong Couple, and Murong Jianyun learned from Sikong Jing’s message that Ling Yusong had reached the Divine Martial Stage. Murong Jianyun recalled Tyrant Heaven’s forces to Overlord Heaven City to prepare for a possible attack, while Pei Kuang’s execution was delayed and Su Yuexian waited to take part.
